[NOTE: This is volume I of a two-part novel. The storylines introduced in this book are not resolved at the end, but are rather completed in Volume II - A Fitzwilliam Legacy: New Year Resolutions] At the end of Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy have traversed a circuitous path to love, coming better to know themselves and each other along the journey - and are now embarking on a life together. In this follow-on novel, Lizzy and Darcy are indeed married, just on a year, and happily adjusting to life together. Indeed, they are about to host their first large house party at Pemberley, a two-week gathering of family and close friends to celebrate Christmastide. Will it go well? Will it prove the amicable house party they have looked forward to, graced with people they love? Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy, content in their own lives and love, will find that the difference between a peaceful celebration and most unharmonious discord is all... Relatives!
